No. 2302. FORAMINIFERA FROM NEW ZEALAND— CVSHM AN. 629 



Chapman, however, records it from Funafuti, and it is known from 

 numerous stations in the North Pacific.

There are several very typical specimens of this species which is 

 very common in the Indo-Pacific, and well developed in the Philip- 

 pines and coral-reef regions. These typical specimens have the 

 reticulate porous waU, as shown in the figures given by Goes and 

 Brady. There are, however, other very interesting specimens 

 moimted on the slide with these. These are not only different in 

 form, but also in the structure of the test, and especially in the 

 ornamentation. One series of these has the test very thin, and the 

 pores small and close together. Some of the specimens are loosely 

 joined in an irregular linear series. Others are irregularly piled, and 

 while they have the same type of test, they have an addition of a 

 superficial thickening of material which gives them a very different 

 appearance. This consists of more or less regular bosses on the 

 outside of the test already formed. These thickenings are circular 

 or irregularly elongate and are distinguished between the pores of the 

 test. This makes an entirely different looking test from the other. 

 (In worn specimens, even in later chambers, this secondary thickening 

 is lacking. ) The apertures also are very different in character. Some 

 of them, as sho\vn by Goes, are elongate and tubular, while others are 

 sunken and have numerous spines about the borders on the two or 

 three adjacent chambers. Altogether this forms a very interesting 

 series. The specimens are in considerable numbers, but not sufficient 

 to determine whether these are definite varietal characters or not. 



Genus PULVINULINA Parker and Jones, 1862. 



PULVmULINA CONCENTRICA Parker and Jones. 



Pulvinulina concentrica (Parker and Jones, MS.), H. B. Brady, Trans. Linn. 

 Soc, London, vol. 24, 1864, p. 470, pi. 48, fig. 14; Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, 

 vol. 9, 1884, p. 686, pi. 105, fig. l«-6.— Cushman, Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 pt. 5, 1915, p. 51, pi. 28, fig. 4. 



There are several specimens representing both early stages and the 

 adult of this species. This species is very widely spread and shows 

 little variation in its characters. Neither Chapman or Sidebottom 

 seem to record it from this region.
